AFTER three years of tearing up tracks across the UK, a 10-year-old motocross star of the future needs help to keep his racing dreams alive.

Despite being initially ‘petrified’ after being bought his first motorbike when he was five, Botley schoolboy Kyron Carron is now competing at the highest level in front of crowds of thousands.

But the self-trained racer may be forced to give up on his ambition of turning professional because of the ‘extortionate’ costs of training and equipment.

He is offering sponsorship deals and is promising to promote local businesses in front of thousands across the world in return.

Kyron, who recently qualified to compete in the Arenacross competition, said racing is ‘extremely daunting’ and ‘very tiring’ but that he is ‘proud’ of what he has achieved.

He added: “I am lucky enough to be considered as one of the top ten riders within my class in the UK and I continue to work as hard as I can to keep this status.

“Unfortunately there are large costs that go with competing at such a high level and although my mum and dad work really hard to pay for everything it can be difficult.”

The youngster trains on a track in South Oxfordshire during the summer with his dad Lewis Carron, an ex-club rider.

Most weekends are spent competing in races, many of which are also streamed across the world.

Mum Lauren Dallimore, 29, admits to finding it hard to watch her son on the track but said she ‘cannot explain how proud I am of him.’

Because of the unusual nature of the hobby, Kyron doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves, according to Ms Dallimore.

She added: “He wouldn’t touch the bike for two years but as soon as he started aged seven, there was no stopping him.

“He has become very successful in a few short years, no-one expected him to have such a talent for it.

“People are always asking for his photograph and cheering him on but to me he’s still just my little boy.”

The family say it costs £15,000 a year to keep Kyron competing and are expecting this to rise.

“He has to work twice as hard as he isn’t lucky enough to have the training others have.

“It is such a shame, I want to keep my son’s dreams alive” said Ms Dallimore.

“It's got to that point where we don’t know what else to do but appeal to anybody who is willing to help a little boy achieve his dreams.”
